Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is a wood-fired pizza restaurant near Hapjeong Station. It's open from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, closed every Tuesday. I booked ahead through Naver and then visited. There's no parking at the restaurant, so I found a nearby public parking lot and parked there before heading in. ![The area around the entrance of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-02-1yi44-900.webp) ![Interior decor of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-03-sdg67-900.webp) ![Clean indoor seating at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-04-42b7m-781.webp) ## Inside Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza: the dining room The inside of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza is clean and nicely decorated! It'd be great to come with friends or for a date, and I think it'd work fine for solo dining too, haha. Takeout orders are also available! ![Table and dining atmosphere at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-05-99q4j-900.webp) ![Interior of Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza with the wood-fired oven visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-06-i2iwm-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza and what it cost Today we ordered the Quattro Stagioni for ₩26,000, the Gamberi Piccante Penne for ₩18,500, and an orange ade! There's a good variety of pasta and wood-fired pizzas so you can pick whatever suits your taste — everything on the menu looks delicious. I'd recommend ordering pasta, pizza, and an ade together, haha — that combo is amazing! ![Table setting with the ordered pizza and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-07-6gu0n-900.webp) ### Free handmade pickles and honey with every table The handmade pickles and honey arrived first! The pickles can be refilled, and the honey is there because, well, you have to dip your wood-fired pizza in it, right? ~>~ ![Complimentary handmade pickles and honey](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-08-1aiu0-900.webp) ## Quattro Stagioni: four flavors on one pizza Our wood-fired pizza arrived. Doesn't it look amazing? It comes with Quattro Formaggi, Margherita, Diavola, and Croccante all on one pizza — a popular menu item that lets you try the best flavors at once! You have to eat it right away while it's fresh — the cheese stretches so much. ![Four-flavor Quattro Stagioni wood-fired pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-09-1n90h-900.webp) They start making the wood-fired pizza the moment you order, so the cheese was stretchy and it was piping hot, hahaha. It looks amazing even just in photos! Looking at these pictures makes me want to eat it again, haha. ![A slice of wood-fired pizza with stretchy cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-10-1d976-900.webp) ![Close-up of freshly baked wood-fired pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-11-jlo3e-900.webp) ### What the pizza tastes like dipped in honey Dipping it in honey makes it twice as delicious! The cheese itself is really rich and nutty, and since they use natural mozzarella, it tastes even richer. The dough is also handmade and fermented for 72 hours, apparently — so it's wonderfully chewy! ![Quattro Formaggi pizza slice dipped in honey](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-12-1i9sn-900.webp) The Margherita was also really good — the tomato flavor came through strong. They said the tomato sauce is made in-house! And it's baked at over 400°C in an oven made from Mount Vesuvius volcanic stone from Italy — how could that not taste good? ~>~ ![Margherita pizza slice with rich tomato sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-13-wctts-900.webp) ## Gamberi Piccante Penne, ordered with spaghetti noodles Gamberi Piccante Penne, ₩18,500 — we also ordered this tomato-based pasta. It's got plump shrimp in it and is piled high with cheese on top! This pasta actually goes into the wood-fired oven briefly to melt the cheese, haha. ![Gamberi Piccante pasta topped with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-14-12uox-900.webp) It's got mushrooms and plump shrimp, and the tomato flavor is really strong! By the way, we chose spaghetti noodles, but you can pick either spaghetti or penne! The portion was seriously generous too. ![Tomato spaghetti with shrimp and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-15-15ahv-900.webp) Eating pizza and pasta together made me feel like I'd finally had a proper Western-style meal after a long time — it put me in a great mood, and the atmosphere of the restaurant made it feel like a real date! Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza has such a cozy vibe, I really recommend visiting and trying it for yourself. ![A full Western-style spread of pizza and pasta together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-16-chyzd-900.webp) ### The orange ade The ade was sweet and delicious too! It paired really well with the wood-fired pizza. I highly recommend the refreshing orange ade — they had a good variety of ades to choose from as well. ![Refreshing orange ade next to the wood-fired pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi/hongdae-wood-fired-pizza-honey-dip-gamberi-17-ac6yy-1200.webp) ## Is Hongdae Hwadeok Pizza worth a visit?
